Abstract: | Failure of ductile materials is often related to coalescence of microscopic voids. The stress triaxiality is one of the primary factors that influence the coalescence. In the present work, a 3D unit cell model is employed to investigate this effect. The cell model contains two aligned voids. A coalescence criterion is proposed in which the critical void volume fraction is expressed in terms of stress triaxiality. |
